NXT will host its pay-per-view style event, Takeover, later this week, and many of its top stars will be in action. Some of those competitors could soon be making an impact on the WWE roster. Here's a look at five talents in NXT who could rise to become WWE superstars.

Although currently a member of the tag team The Vaudevillians, English really opened eyes as a singles competitor. His character, the Artiste, allowed him to display his legitimate ability as a singer to generate heat from the fans. He’s impressive in the ring, has a unique look, and if he returns to his Artiste persona, he could be one of the more hated characters in WWE someday.

Much like English, Kalisto wrestles primarily in tag team action recently, but his individual talent has been evident. Both his physique and move-set draw immediate comparisons to Rey Mysterio, who was one of the most popular superstars for more than a decade. With Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio now gone from WWE, and Sin Cara failing to make an impact, Kalisto has the skills to fill the void as a top Hispanic star.

“The man who gravity forgot” combines mat skills with unparalleled aerial abilities. His six-month reign as NXT Champion is proof that WWE believes he could be a future star on the main roster, despite his height disadvantage. Neville’s accent and verbal abilities may ultimately hinder his chances to have the same success in WWE, but his work in the ring will instantly make him a fan favorite of the WWE Universe.

2. Tyler Breeze

Breeze undoubtedly has the best character on NXT currently, and probably one of the best in the entire company. A self-absorbed pretty boy, Breeze plays his role perfectly, from his entrance to his promos to his in-ring mannerisms. Additionally, he is a very talented worker, and his matches over the past few months have been particularly impressive. Charisma can’t be taught, and Breeze has it in spades.

Zayn is so good in the ring, he might challenge Daniel Bryan as the company's top performer. His marquee matches against Cesaro and Breeze this year have been incredible, and his move-set blends all different styles. Although Zayn has yet to really hone in on a character, he’s perhaps the most popular competitor in NXT, as fans appreciate his heart and courage. When he gets the opportunity to compete against top WWE talent, he won't disappoint.
